PHP :: Download Files From Remote Server To Local Webserver

LOCALHOST Webserver Not Behaving Same As Remote Server
I'm developing a web site, which I test first on my PC (http://localhost/...) and then upload to the
web site on the internet when ok.

I have a little bit of PHP code (in file download.php) which I use to force the Save dialogue when I
want the user to download a PDF file. The hyperlink looks like:-

http://localhost/download.php?filename=my_pdf_file.pdf

This PHP works *fine* ... on the internet site - but *not* locally!!!

On the localhost, instead of prompting to download the PDF file, it prompts to download the PHP file
itself!

What do I need to do / configure (and HOW and WHERE please) to get this to work locally??

My local web server is Apache 2, and I'm using PHP 4.

The PHP code is just:-
<?PHP
header("Content-type: application/octet-stream");
header("Content-Length: ".filesize($filename));
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$filename");
$fp = fopen($filename, 'rb');
fpassthru($fp);
fclose($fp);
?>

Php MySQL Works On Remote Server, Only Partially On Local Server
code to populate form select fields with data from a MySQL database, so a user
can use those to sort/filter and view the 3,000 records. No inserts --
just selects; very simple.

I originally set this up using URL-based query strings at
http://stjuliana.org/school/ar/BUindex.php but since that only allowed
sorting and not filtering, hence all 3k records load, I made a form
verson at http://stjuliana.org/school/ar/index.php . Everything works
just fine, however, there's still a lot of tweaking I want to do, such
as splitting the form input and output into two pages (_blank), having
a printable version, etc. To that end I just set up the latest builds
of Apache, php and MySQL on my local Windows XP box, lest I blow my
beer budget for the month on bandwidth overage. <g>

I have a very simple page I used to test my localhost setup and
everything's fine. I can connect to MySQL, create, insert and select
from DBs, so I know my config is fine. All my other .php pages on this
site work fine locally as well.

The two abovementioned pages, however, are giving me fits when run
locally...

For the URL-query-string version, it loads up with the default view
(=name_ns), which grabs all records and sorts by name and point asc.
No matter which of the other sort 'views' I might choose, it still
loads up all the records in that default sort. The server's holding on
to something and I don't know how to clear it. The remote version
correctly sorts based on the query string chosen.

The form version is worse. It connects to the DB and populates the
select boxes with the field data -- that part's fine. But no matter
which submit button is selected, no data is retrieved. I get no error,
but no data either. The form's action is set to $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']
and I've tried both GET and POST -- no change.

Since the exact same pages work on the remote server I know it has to
be something on the local setup. But where do I look if there's no
obvious error?

This is probably something incredibly basic but I'm bleary-eyed from
reading tutorials and forums all over the Internet and can't come up
with anything.

Date Function On Local Server To Remote Host
This little combo was giving me Sunday, April 30 on my local server and Thursday, April 1 on my remote host, and I can't for the life of me figure out why. I could swear it used to work. PHP Code:

$today = gmmktime(0,0,0,date('m,d,Y',gmmktime()));
echo gmdate('l, F j', $today);

(The first function gives me a "midnight" time stamp, so all dates put into the db, and compared to it, are consistent). When I rewrote it thus, it worked fine on both hosts:
PHP Code:

$m = date('m',gmmktime());
$d = date('d',gmmktime());
$y = date('Y',gmmktime());
$today = gmmktime(0,0,0,$m,$d,$y);

Any idea what the heck is going on?

Using Include() Or Require() From A Remote Webserver
I'm using include() and require() a few times in my website to include documents that reside on another web server (where my CMS resides).

Normally I use the extension .inc.php to indicate my include files. The cool thing about the .php extension is of course that no one can read the include files when they are accessed directly from a browser (they're parsed as php).

But because I'm including these files from a remote webserver, I can't use the .php extension. Because if I do, the include files are parsed as php before they're included. So I have to use the extension .inc

The bad thing now is that everyone can see the source code of these .inc files when accessed directly from their browser. So I want to protect these files, but I don't know how. Htaccess is no option because if i use that, i can't include the files anymore.

A Webserver (PHP 5) With A Few Database Server (MySQL)
I have a problem in connecting my new FC5 webserver (apache 2.2 + php 5.1.4)
to a few database servers through the PHP scripts (RH9, FC2, FC3). I have
set host privileges correctly for the database servers. It seems that after
I migrated the php files (originally in each database server) to the
centralised FC5 webserver, it failed to work. Is it because of the PHP5 is
compiled with MySQL version 4 +? Since those RH9 / FC2 and FC3 are equipped
with only MySQL 3.2x.

What I have done:

1. Rebuild the Apache 2.2.0, PHP 5.1.4 with mysql support (both mysqli &&
mysql) on FC5 webserver
2. Host privileges in each of the database servers.
3. Firewall rules for port 3306 on each server.

What is successful:
1. The FC5 webserver is able to connect to its own MySQL server (version
4.x)

What is failed:
1. There wasn't any error message from PHP 5 (display through the browser),
until I pop into console and type at the prompt let say "php index.php",
then all the error message was displayed through the console.

Copying File From Hosted Remote Sever To Local Machine
I am trying to use php to automate the copying of a file from my remotely

will only do the copying from one directory to another on the remote server.
Reading the postings on these functions they suggest that it can be done but
it appears to be the case if your are hosting your site on the same machine
you want to copy the files to. Does anyone know if there are functions in
php to do the transfer from remote server to my machine or if the code below
will acheive this with modification?

<?php
$ftp_server = "xxxxxxxx";
$ftp_user = "xxxxxxx";
$ftp_pass = "xxxxxx";
$local_file = 'myfile.txt'
$server_file = 'myfile.txt'

// set up a connection or die
$conn_id = ftp_connect($ftp_server) or die("Couldn't connect to
$ftp_server");

$login_result = ftp_login($conn_id, $ftp_user, $ftp_pass);

// check connection
if ((!$conn_id) || (!$login_result)) {
die("FTP connection has failed !");
}

// try to change the directory to myfilesdirectory
if (ftp_chdir($conn_id, "myfilesdirectory")) {
echo "Current directory is now: " . ftp_pwd($conn_id) . "";
} else {
echo "Couldn't change directory";

if (ftp_get($conn_id, $local_file, $server_file, FTP_BINARY)) {

File Download From A Remote Directory
Basically it will download the big files which has uploaded via ftp in the server directory

Lets demonstrate it.

***********************ADMIN***********************
There is a form in form.php taking

the movie name
category
physical path. eg /home/domainusername/public_html/upload/
virtual path eg http://www.domain.com/upload

The virtual and physical path can be of the server itself from where the form is posting or to any remote server.Now in the post section I am redirecting the pointer to the www.domain.com/dir.php

in dir.php I am fetching all the filenames based on the posted virtual path and then I am keeping the filenames in a string separated by # and again I am redirecting the page to www.domain.com/files.php?filename=a.jpg#b.mpeg

from files.php I am inserting the filenames in the mysql table.The db structure is something like this.

Table Movie
movieid,moviename,category,purl,aurl

Table file
fileid,movieid,filename
***********************ADMIN END***********************
I can display the files in the frontend if the above idea works.Now how can I download the files.I have the physical path + virtual path + filename

So combining these 3 things how can i download a file?

Local Apache Web Server Revisited
I would like to replicate an apache server on my home computer. Conclusions of a previous thread on this topic:

1) Use the same operating system for your local apache server as your host uses.

Any comments on just how important this is would be very welcome because i am thinking of cutting a corner and running my local apache server on windows XP. My prospective host uses Linux.

2) There are some nice "neat, easy, tidy" installs of apache (with PHP and MySQL) available.

easyphp
AppServ
XAMPP

Any comments on which one is best would be highly appreciated. As would further suggestions.

3) Things that I want to do which are a bit special:

) Use the PHP IMAP functions. These are a PHP extension.

http://uk2.php.net/imap

So, I will have to add this extension. How easy is this with these local apache servers?

) Does anyone know an IMAP email client that I can put on my local host apache server?

courier-imap or CyrusIMAPD are apparantly possibilities. Can anyone point me to any reseources that would guide me through setting up these clients so that they are integrated with the apache web server - so that PHP code on the apache server could have access to emails in the IMAP email inbox. PHP code on the server can send emails from the IMAP email inbox.
